  • Bake crust for 20 minutes.
  • Reduce convection oven to 325°F or regular oven to 350°F.
  • Carefully remove paper & weights, then return crust to oven for 10 minutes until light golden brown.

  • Drop onion & tomato mixture across the bottom of the parbaked crust. Top with mozzarella & parmesan, then pour egg mixture evenly on top.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until top is light golden brown. The center should be set but still jiggly.
